    Today is quite a significant date for the English part of the football world as it's the last day for the 2021/22 accounting period.

    The fact we spent £40M+ before the 2021/22 accounts closed and we'll be receiving over £100M in the first few days of the 2022/23 accounts may be entirely down to us or possibly it's Man City needing to delay the Phillips deal for their own FFP purposes.

    Either way it seems we'll be in a great position going forward.

    You could be right, that's why I put Klaesson's name in brackets, to avoid any ambiguity.

    Hope it was clear.

    Lots of 'keepers have hundreds of appearances. I wasn't questioning the length of his career, but rather that he did anything in it to warrant his many England caps.

    No, an experienced 'keeper on the bench is NOT doing the goalkeeping coach's job for him.

    An experienced 'keeper can and will pass on the experiences he's had and make Klaesson and Meslier better players.
    Players don't learn everything from the coaches and in the end, if Meslier was unavailable for a Prem fixture, who would you rather have come in? An inexperienced 'keeper like Klaesson, or an experienced one like Ben Foster ?

    It's why Leeds are looking at him (Foster):

    "Paul Robinson has urged Leeds United to sign Ben Foster after he heard his former club were linked with the exit-bound Watford goalkeeper."

    https://motleedsnews.com/exclusives...ben-foster-as-goalkeeper-speculation-emerges/

    Now why would Paul Robinson say that ?
    Are you suggesting you know more about goalkeeping than Robinson does ?

    I ****ing hate posts like this “are you suggesting you know more about goalkeeping than Robinson does” just designed to shut down debate, what a right ****er you sound here.
    He, Klaesson, was clearly thought good enough to come in for Meslier last season so what’s changed? What experience will Foster bring? Tell him how to position himself to make saves, aka as a goalkeeper coach might. Seems like he’s looking for one more pension pay day to me.

    Who do you think was better than him during his England domination?
